“Sales Account Manager - Eastern Canada”

(Technical Sales / Business Development - Oil Analysis & Fluid Reliability Services)

WearCheck is currently seeking a driven, technically experienced Sales Account Manager - Eastern Canada, reporting directly to the Chief Operating Officer (COO). This is not an entry-level position — we are looking for a proven B2B technical sales professional with relevant industry credentials and the confidence to engage at the maintenance, reliability, and operations leadership level.

The SAM will be WearCheck’s primary commercial resource in Eastern Canada, protecting and growing existing accounts, developing new business, and promoting our oil analysis, reliability products, digital platforms, and education programs as key differentiators.

1. Key Duties & Responsibilities

• Develop and grow a robust pipeline of new accounts across Eastern Canada, with initial primary focus on Southern Ontario and Southern Quebec.
• Protect, service, and grow existing key accounts, ensuring high customer retention, satisfaction, and growth (e.g., AOM testing, Lubrigard product and service adoption).
• Identify, target, and acquire new clients by positioning WearCheck and Lubrigard’s full portfolio of products and services.
• Build and maintain strong relationships with key decision-makers, maintenance managers, reliability engineers, procurement, and operations leadership.
• Actively promote and demonstrate WearCheck’s value-added tools and education programs as part of every client engagement:

◦ ODE (On-line Data Entry) - web-based and mobile app client program engagement tool.

◦ WebCheck Online Platform - drive client adoption for online sample results, program management, and reporting.

◦ Oil Insights Course - promote WearCheck’s customer onboarding journey, oil analysis, and education programs for best-in-class customer lubrication programs.

◦ WearCheck Training (MLT/MLA/OMA/Lube Hero/Oil Insights) - leverage training events to generate leads and increase service to customers.

• Conduct client site visits, technical presentations, and plant lubrication program reviews to demonstrate value and identify opportunities.
• Provide on-site fluid reliability solutions to customers for lubrication storage, dispensing, handling, contamination control, filtration, and best-in-class maintenance practices.
• Collaborate closely with the laboratory, sales/technical services, and customer service teams for seamless client onboarding and program delivery.
• Maintain accurate and up-to-date CRM records: pipeline activity, account plans, call reports, and forecasts.
• Identify and pursue strategic partnership opportunities with lubricant suppliers, equipment dealers, OEMs, and distributor networks.
• Develop distributor/partner/supplier agreements and performance plans.
• Attend industry trade shows, conferences, and networking events relevant to the target segments.
• Provide market intelligence, competitive insights, and customer feedback to support continuous improvement.
• Meet or exceed assigned sales targets and KPIs on a monthly, quarterly, and annual basis.
• Other duties as assigned.

• Ability to translate complex technical concepts into clear, compelling business cases for client stakeholders at all levels.
• Experience promoting or selling software platforms, training programs, or automated-based services is an asset.

• ICML certification (MLA I or MLT I) is a strong asset demonstrating the technical credibility this role requires.
• Knowledge of industry standards and testing (ASTM, ISO) in lubricant oil analysis is a preferred asset.
• Additional industry certifications such as STLE CLS (Society of Tribology & Lubrication Engineers Certified Lubrication Specialist) are viewed favourably.

4. Working Conditions & Requirements
